<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Hi Folks!</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Well, obviously I've been lurking for the last 6 weeks or so. Things at Grossmann manor have been pretty hectic. The Long Suffering Mrs. G. left her job of 12 years and started another job that turned out to be a nightmare so now she is looking for another job. Meanwhile my job has changed rather dramatically. After almost 28 years of flying under the radar I am suddenly traveling around the state with the Agency Director and stuff like that. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">And now they are sending me to a Miami, Florida Boat show and an Areospace Convention in Anaheim. So if there are any Groopies in Miami this week let me know and maybe we can get together. Otherwise, the highlight of the trip will probably be ogling the boat manufacturer booth babes that I'm told will be there. I'll be in Anaheim from the 13th - 16th. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">So the fact that I've been lurking lately has NOTHING to do with the heavy medication the The Long Suffering Mrs. G. had to administer to me after Mark told us that maybe there would be New Groo for Groo's 25th anniversary and I got a little excited.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">OK, a couple other things:</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">The expansion decks to the Groo Game are pretty easy to find. It's the whole game that is a tough find and pretty expensive when it comes on ebay. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Yes, I was aware of the Capital City Platinum Collection Groos drawing. It was part of set of 42 prints by different artists put out by the Capital City Distributor folks who used to be in competition with Previews. It came out in 1989 and is item 23. on the Groo Merchandise and Misc. Items section of the Groo List. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">And I am sooooo glad to hear that more Groopies will be coming to San Diego than in 2006. The Long Suffering Mrs. G. & I will be there. We already have our reservations. Can't wait! </FONT></P>
